ReplyDeleteSuper mom!
Deletebecause aside from the occasional vacation, you never get to take a break. even on those vacation days, you're always thinking about your kids. unlike any other job in the world.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about that! No rest for the weary.
DeleteThe hardest thing? Dying to myself. Choosing to cheerfully put my child's needs first when I'd rather do something else (like sleep).
ReplyDeleteSleep? It will eventually come back to you, Alena!
DeleteI think being a parent is the toughest job in the world, not just being a mother. And I think it is because you, in many ways, are responsible for the fate of another human being. Their physical, mental, and emotional well-being is all intertwined with you. Plus, no matter how hard you try, you will mess up at some point, in some way. So, that is a lot of responsibility to bear, no matter your age!
ReplyDeleteit would be hard to see them get their heart broken an know that its a part of life.
